Abstract
A 68-year-old male presented with a difficult airway secondary to a firm
mass at the base of the tongue on intubation for an emergency general
surgical procedure. Further workup confirmed a lingual thyroid with
previous upper airway obstruction requiring a temporary tracheostomy.
The mass was excised using transoral robotic surgery.23 Jan 2021Submitted to Clinical Case Reports 25 Jan 2021Submission Checks Completed
